F Street House

The F Street House, located at 1925 F Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., is a historic Georgian brick mansion that has been the residence of the university President since 1923. Originally built in 1849 for a U.S. Navy captain, the house has a rich history of hosting influential figures in Washington society, including diplomats, journalists, and political leaders.

Throughout its history, the F Street House has been a place for intimate gatherings and discussions on matters of international importance. It has welcomed guests such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, and Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1990, the F Street House was rededicated as the GW Alumni House in 1999. Renovations in 2007 transformed the mansion into a private residence and a central hub for the university community.

Today, President Granberg and her wife, Sonya, continue the tradition of hosting members of the GW and broader communities for discussions and gatherings at the F Street House. With its distinguished heritage and commitment to sustainability, the F Street House remains a symbol of the university's vibrant life and history.
